	Mini Pennants (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Unlike the triangular pennant, most national and departmental flags are rectangular; the national flag of Nepal and the state flag of Ohio in the U.S. are the only notable modern flags to be a variation of the standard pennant.
		Records show that pennants were in use in the 13th century, when merchant ships were commandeered during war and placed in command of military officers, who transferred their trail pendants from their lances to the mastheads of the ships they commanded.
		Pennant was signed at the age of 15 by Arsenal from Notts County for £2million, a then-record for a teenager, but failed to fulfil his promise amidst a string of disciplinary problems.

	Pennant number - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		HMS Leeds Castle, launched in 1943 as a corvette with pennant number K384, was redesignated a frigate in 1948 and given the new flag superior "F" as seen here.
		A pennant number consists either of a letter (known as a flag superior) followed by a number, or just a number (as not all pennants have a flag superior).
		When ships were sunk, their pennant numbers were reissued to new ships.

	Pennant number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During the 1970's the service stopped painting pennant numbers on submarines on the grounds that they spent too little time on the surface.
		Aircraft carriers had a different form of pennant 'number' painted on the flight deck to aid identification by aircraft attempting to land.
		The Royal Navy used a single letter (typically the first letter of the ship's name) but the USN with their larger fleet used the numeric part of the pennant number.

	Whatever Happened to the Hall of Fame? / Bill James \| BaseballLibrary.com
		The team with the Drysdale/Carlton-type pitcher increased it to 218 pennants, or 7.3 percent of the seasons.
		Sixteen of these pennants were accounted for in "out years" after the pitcher was retired; while he was active, his team won the pennant 202 times in 2,400 seasons, or 8.4 percent...
		First, because the number of pennants involved is small enough to be subject to random fluctuations, I decided to extend the study to 10,000 simulated seasons, rather than stopping at 3,000.

		It was a retired Lieutenant Commander from Warwickshire who first raised the subject with me of the Gin Pennant - sometimes flown by the Royal Navy as an invitation to other ships in the squadron to join their officers for a drink in the wardroom.
		The origins of the Gin Pennant in the Royal Navy are uncertain but several officers remember using it in the 1940s - raised inconspicuously on an inner halyard.
		Mostly the pennants were made up on board, although the Distillery Manager of Plymouth Gin was quoted as saying that his firm started supplying Gin Pennants for yachtsmen in the 1950s.

	Talk:HMS Hood (51) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		I'm guessing the idea was to use Hood's pendant number to disambiguate (as in USS Enterprise (CV-6)), but the date system seems to be the overwhelming choice for RN ships.
		The general rule has been to use hull number, pennant, or similar navy-assigned identification to disambiguate if it's available, otherwise to use year of launch.
		If we had an article on pennant number, we could link to it; I've been keeping an eye out for an authoritative source, haven't seen one yet.

		But we can't just look a the number of pennant or World Series wins for a player, since it's not a player's fault if they are surrounded by teammates who are not championship quality.
		I am boldly going to assert that a team will win the pennant if they win at least 95 games (this may or may not be true, but too bad).

	Hull classification symbol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		See also pennant number, a somewhat analogous system used by the Royal Navy and some European navies.
		A heavily modified or repurposed ship may receive a new symbol, and either retain the hull number or receive a new one.
		Also, the system of symbols has changed a number of times since it was introduced in 1907, so ships' symbols sometimes change without anything being done to the physical ship.

	Project 949 / Oscar - Russian / Soviet Nuclear Forces
		And unlike the American practice, in which hull numbers are generally assigned in a consecutive numerical sequence which corresponds to the chronological sequence of construction, the pennant numbers assigned Russian submarines [eg, K-141] do not conform to an apparent set pattern.
		The compartments are numbered sequentially from fore to aft, with the two separate reactor compartments numbered V and V-bis [which is accounts for the fact that there are ten compartments, though the numbers only run through nine].
		Considering the importance of the Oscar II submarines for the Russian Navy, the level of confusion concerning the designations and status of the units of this class verges on the astonishing.

		British warships also were identified by a "pennant number" consisting of a single letter prefix and a two- or three-digit number such as "K.225" or "D.23".
		In addition, each ship type was distinguished by a type code of two to four letters; pennant numbers were always assigned consecutively within a ship type.
		Project Numbers were used only within Russia (a complete list can be found at http://www.warships1.com/Russian_projects1.htm); foreign powers assigned their own class names for identification; surface ships were given Russian-sounding (often nonsense) names beginning with "K" (Kashin, Krivak, Kresta, Kynda, Kola) and submarines names from the American phonetic alphabet (Foxtrot, Victor, Yankee, Alfa).
